gard to  a  certificate  of  exhibition  from  the  Secretary 
of  Fair,  as  they  will  be  required  by  agents  at  the  time 
of  loading  freight  on  return  from  Fair,  as  well  as  in 
getting  refund  of  amount  prepaid. 

When  making  delivery  of  freight  returned  FREE 
from  Fairs,  agents  should  be  satisfied  that  it  is  the 
same  shipment,  and  of  the  same  ownership,  as  was 
forwarded  from  his  station.  If  any  additional  prop- 
erty or  an  entire  shipment  is  received  on  billing 
without  charges,  and  this  property  was  not  originally 
forwarded  from  such  station,  or  was  forwarded  by 
another  owner,  correction  notice  should  be  issued  on 
the  way-bill,  adding  charges  at  regular  tariff  rates 
and   collection   made   promptly. 

Trotting  Wagons,  Sulkies  and  other  equipment,  are 
not  intended  strictly  for  exhibition  and  will  not  be 
carried  at  other  than  full  rates. 

Shippers  of  Life  Stock  to  either  Fair  will  not  be 
allowed  to  take,  free  of  charge,  any  more  hay  or  grain 
than  is  sufficient  to  feed  their  stock  while  en  route. 
Any  in  excess  of  this  must  be  paid  for  at  full  tariff 
rates. 

Agents  should  be  particular  before  making  re- 
funds to  see  that  all  conditions  are  complied  with. 

Agents  will  ascertain  as  nearly  as  possible  the 
number  of  cars  required  at  their  stations  to  load  for 
these  Fairs,  and  give  notice  of  same  to  Supt.  car  ser- 
service  at  least  three  days  previous  to  day  of  opening.

them  to  remain  so  attached  during  the  exhibition. 

Exhibitors  will  have  the  right  to  sell  their  exhibits 
during  the  Fair,  but  not  to  deliver  the  same  until  the 
close  of  the  exhibition  without  the  consent  of  the 
Board  of  Managers. 

Excellent  arrangements  will  be  made  for  parties 
desiring  to  camp.  The  purchase  of  camper's  tickets 
by  persons  wishing  to  camp  will  entitle  them  to  free 
use  of  land  in  the  Park  ta  pitch  their  tents. 

No  entrance  fee  will  be  charged  except  for  adver-

Exhibitors  must  state  at  the  bottom  of  their  entry 
blank  how  many  full  grown  animals  and  how  many 
young  animals  they  intend  to  bring  to  the  Fair. 

No  animal  will  be  allowed  a  premium  unless  sound. 
This  rule  will  be  regidly  enforced  in  all  breeding 
classes. 

No  animal  shall  be  excluded  from  competition  for 
the  first  premium  in  any  class  by  reason  of  having 
taken  the  same  premium  at  previous  fairs. 

The  age  of  animals  must  be  calculated  to  October 
1st. 

The  manager  will  take  every  precaution  for  the 
safe  keeping  of  animals  or  articles  on  exhibition  af- 
ter arrival  and  arrangement  for  exhibition;  but  the 
Association  will  not  be  responsible  for  damage  that 
may  occur  to  animals  or  articles  on  exhibition.  Ex- 
hibitors must  give  personal  attention  to  their  animals 
and  articles,  and  at  the  close  of  the  Fair  attend  to 
their  removal,  and  upon  this  condition  only  are  en- 
tries received. 

Exhibitors  must  see  to  the  delivery  of  their  con- 
tributions at  the  Fair  grounds;  the  Assjciation  can- 
not in  any  case  make  provision  for  their  transpor- 
tation, or  be  subjected  to  any  expense  therefor,  eith- 
er in  the  deliverey  at,  or  return  from,  the  exhibition, 
but  all  expenses  connected  therewith  must  be  pro- 
vided for  by  the  exhibitors. 

Exhibitors  should  give  early  notice  by  correspon- 
dence, of  their  Intention  to  exhibit,  stating  amount 
of  space,  or  stalls  required. 

Premiums  will  not  be  paid  on  animals  or  articles 
removed  from  the  exhibition  before  the  close,  unless 
such  removal  has  the  special  approval  of  the  execu- 
tive officers  of  the  Association. 

Premiums  will  be  paid  before  the  first  of  November. 

If  persons  winning  premiums  haven't  received  their 


check  by  that  time,  kindly  notify  Wm.  E.  Dobbins, 
as  the  banks  will  not  cash  any  checks  after  Nov. 
1st,  1916. 

Exhibitors  will  see  that  their  entries  are  properly 
copied  on  the  judges'  books,  as  no  changes  in  awards 
can  be  made  after  the  books  are  returned  from  the 
judges. 

Any  exhibitor  lodging  a  protest  against  any  award, 
must  make  it  in  writing,  and  it  must  be  delivered 
to  tlie  Secretary  within  three  hours  of  the  cause  of 
protest;  it  must  state  plainly  the  cause  of  complaint 
or  appeal,  and  must  be  accompanied  by  a  deposit  of 
$5.00,  which  sum  shall  be  forfeited  to  the  Association 
if  said  protest  is  found  to  be  frivolous. 

Entries  must  be  forwarded  to  the  Secretary  before 
the  date  of  closing  in  each  class. 

Exhibits  must  be  ready  for  all  judging  October  10, 
unless   otherwise   tirranged   by   the   Secretary. 

No  entrance  fee  for  exhibits  will  be  charged  in 
departments  and  no  passes  will  be  given  exhibitors, 
as  attendants  will  care  for  the  exhibits  during  the 
Fair.  Exhibitors'  tickets  will  be  $1.00  Helpers' 
tickets   $1.00: 

When  competing  animals  or  articles  in  the  same 
class  in  any  department  are  both  adjudged  entitled 
to  a  first  premium,  the  first  and  second  premiums  will 
be  equally  divided  between  such  contestants,  and  in 
case  a  second  premium  will  not  be  awarded.  Pre- 
iniuril  cards  will  be  attached  to  coops  of  Poultry, 
and  all  articles  on  exhibition,  and  premium  ribbons 
to  Cattle  and  Horses  as  awarded.  Blue  ribbon  or 
card  denotes  first  premium;  red  ribbon  or  card  de- 
notes second  premium,  and  white  ribbon  or  card  de- 
notes third  premium. 

All  reasonable  care  will  be  taken  of  articles 
on  exhibition.  A  corps  of  police  will  be  on  duty  at 
all  hours  of  the  day  or  night,  but  the  Fair  does  not 
hod  itself  responsible  for  the  safety  of  articles  ex- 
hibited, nor  any  damage  or  loss. 

Executive  officers  reserve  the  right  to  change  the 
order  of  examinations  and  premiums   as  necessary. 

Everything  unpaid  by  Nov.  15th  will  revert  to  the 
society.  All  premium  checks  must  be  cashed  be- 
fore Nov.  1st  as  our  credit  will  be  withdrawn  from  the 
bunk  on  that  day  and  checks  won't  be  good  after  that. 

One  premium  only  will  be  paid  in  any  class,  unless 
there  are  two  or  more  exhibitors. 

All  entries  in  this  Department  should  be 
made  on  the  regular  blanks,  as  the  society  will  not 
be  responsible  for  errors  that  may  occur  in  trans- 
ferring an  entry  that  may  be  made  by  letter. 

Judges  appointed  by  the  Asso  iation. 
■  No  diseased  cattle  will  be  accepted  for  or  entitled

Compliments  of 


ASBESTOS 

WOOD 
COMPANY 

Nashua,  N.  H. 


All  owners  or  managers  of  horses  entered  at  the 
Fair  are  requested  to  call  at  the  Supt.  of  Horse 
Dept's  office  on  their  first  entering  the  grounds. 

In  the  several  classes  of  American  Trotting-Bred 
Horses,  and  of  pure-bred  French  Coach,  Hackney, 
Clydesdale,  English  Shires,  Suffolk  Punches,  and 
Percherons,  the  breeding  must  be  fully  indicated  on 
the  score  card,  and  with  the  pure  bloods  a  certificate 
of  the  same  should  be  presented  to  the  judge. 

No  credit  or  premium  will  be  given  for  pedigree 
or  otherwise  unless  the  breeding  be  indicated  on  the 
entry  cprd.  The  sire  of  the  dam  must  be  given  as 
well  E-s  the  grandsire  on  the  male  side;  also  the 
breeding  of  the  grand  dams  on  both  sides,  if  possi- 
ble. In  no  other  way  can  credit  for  pedigree  value 
be  figured  accurately.  "Dam,  a  Messenger"  or  "Said 
to  be  a  Knox,"  carries  no  value,  and  can  have  no 
credit. 

Any  attempt  at  deception  or  fraud  will  bar  the 
entire  exhibit  of  an  individual  from  competition.  Ex- 
hibitors are  urged  to  note  on  entry  cards  records 
won  by  sire  or  dam,  or  other  of  their  offspring.  The 
judges  in  making  up  their  awards,  shall  have  the 
right  to  call  out  any  horse  to  harness  (that  is  brok- 
en to  harness),  though  it  be  stated  that  his  class  is 
to  be  shown  to  halter.  In  case  two  animals  in  the 
same  class  score  the  same  and  the  highest  number 
of  points  they  will  be  considered  equal,  and  the 
first  and  second  premiums  will  be  divided  equally 
between  the  two.  If  the  first  premium  is  awarded 
without  such  a  contest,  and  if  in  competition  for 
the  second  premium,  two  or  more  of  the  contestants 
score  the  same  and  the  highest  number  of  points, 
the  second  premium  will  be  divided  equally  between 
such    competitors. 


AMERICAN  TROTTING-BRED  STALLIONS. 

Stallions  in  this  department  are  entitled  to  credit 
for  the  number  of  points  which  their  record  gives 
them.  Their  pedigree  value  will  also  be  considered 
and  the  proper  number  of  points  given,  to  this  will 
be  added  their  score  on  structural  parts.  The  sum 
total  for  record,  pedigree  and  conformation  to  deter- 
mine the  award. 

Stallions  over  four  years  old  competing  for  pre- 
miums, shall  have  been  kept  in  this  state  at  least 
four  months  prior  to  the  exhibition,  unless  other-

may  be  made  with  the  superintendent  to  feed  and 
care  for  stock  at  the  expense  and  risk  of  the  owner,
